hey ulti here are some cards you might be interested in (pseudo trainers)

The Curator; my favorite card to be released in recent memory. he pulls a dragon, a beast, and a murlock from your deck. because of his high cost and value oriented design he works almost exclusively in control decks. generally you want to set up 2 copies of a beast, a dragon, and a murloc in the same deck. this guarantees that you'll always pull the exact cards you want when you play the Curator. some variations include two bluegills and two warleaders (4 murlocs total) since you want to draw all of your murlocs as fast as possible, but this was more true during Karazhan meta when anyfin paladin was still playable. I think probably drawing either of those cards is normally good especially if you're already holding others. not a trainer in the sense that he lets you search your deck for a card, but more in the sense that you pre-arrange specific cards ahead of time that you know he'll pull later on. probably the closest thing hearthstone has to a trainer. great deck thinning mechanic. he can also be used in dragon decks with more than 2 dragons, and is a way to ensure you'll have a dragon in hand for the next turn (or he can be played alongside netherspite historian for example).

Finja, the Flying Star; A little more complicated to pull off but he's actually more usable in aggro style decks. with Finja you just run exactly Finja, two Bluegill, and two Warleaders. if Finja kills something he just automatically thins your deck and throws some amount of burst damage onto the board. I've heard he is just flat out good enough that you can play him even with other Murlocs in the deck since him putting stuff onto the board for free (and thinning the deck of low cost minions) is always good. haven't tested it myself so I can't say for sure.

Shadow Visions; does not actually thin your deck but it's a great control option for spell priests. the classic problem with priest has always been that its answers to situations are way too specific. essentially you have cards that can do really niche things but you have to have them in your hand at the perfect time to counter whatever is happening on the board -- making them less effective. shadow visions allows you to discover between 3 spells in your deck. this means you have full control over what Shadow Visions selects for and if you have drawn Shadow Visions you can intentionally draw into whatever spell you need to play at that moment. it should theoretically also work in silence priest as well because you can use it to make sure you have your silence effects in hand rather than waiting to draw them. basically just overall increases the chances that you'll have the cards you want.
